SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:12
El SEÑOR talará de las tiendas de Jacob al hombre que hiciere esto, al maestro, y al estudiante, y al que ofrece presente al SEÑOR de los ejércitos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Malachi 2:12
Verse 12. The master and the scholar] He who teachers such doctrine, and he who follows this teaching, the Lord will cut off both the one and the other.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. The Lord will cut off the man that doeth this , etc.] That is guilty of such treachery, wickedness, and idolatry: or “to the man that doeth this” f46 ; all that belong to him, his children and substance: it denotes the utter destruction, not of a single man and his family only, but of the whole Jewish nation and its polity, civil and ecclesiastical, as follows: the master and the scholar out of the tabernacles of Jacob ; the Targum paraphrases it, “the son, and son’s son, out of the cities of Jacob;” agreeable to which is Kimchi’s note, “it is as if it was said, there shall not be left in his house one alive; that there shall not be in his house one that answers him, that calls by name.” In the Hebrew text it is, “him that is awake, and him that answers” f47 ; which the Talmudists explain, the former of the wise men or masters, and the latter of the disciples of the wise men; to which sense our version agrees: but by “him that waketh or watcheth”, according to Cocceius, is meant the civil magistrate, who watches for the good of the commonwealth, and so may design the elders and rulers of the people; and by him that “answereth”, the prophet, who returns answers when he is consulted in things belonging to the law of God, and such were the scribes and lawyers. And him that offereth an offering unto the Lord of hosts ; the priests, that offered sacrifice for the people; so that hereby is threatened an entire destruction, both of the civil and ecclesiastical polity of the Jews, that there should be no prince, prophet, and priest among them; all should be removed out of the tents of Jacob, or cities of Israel; (see Hosea 3:4).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-17 - Corrupt practices are the fruit of corrupt principles; and he who is false to his God, will not be true to his fellow mortals. In contemp of the marriage covenant, which God instituted, the Jews put away the wives they had of their own nation, probably to make room for strang wives. They made their lives bitter to them; yet, in the sight of others, they pretend to be tender of them. Consider she is thy wife thy own; the nearest relation thou hast in the world. The wife is to be looked on, not as a servant, but as a companion to the husband. Ther is an oath of God between them, which is not to be trifled with. Ma and wife should continue to their lives' end, in holy love and peace Did not God make one, one Eve for one Adam? Yet God could have mad another Eve. Wherefore did he make but one woman for one man? It wa that the children might be made a seed to serve him. Husbands and wive must live in the fear of God, that their seed may be a godly seed. The God of Israel saith that he hateth putting away. Those who would be kept from sin, must take heed to their spirits, for there all sin begins. Men will find that their wrong conduct in their familie springs from selfishness, which disregards the welfare and happiness of others, when opposed to their own passions and fancies. It is wearisom to God to hear people justify themselves in wicked practices. Those wh think God can be a friend to sin, affront him, and deceive themselves The scoffers said, Where is the God of judgement? but the day of the Lord will come __________________________________________________________________
